Corporate Counsel: Protecting Your Business in an Age of Aggressive Immigration Enforcement

January 29, 2019

Samuel Newbold was published in Corporate Counsel with an article titled, "Protecting Your Business in an Age of Aggressive Immigration Enforcement." The piece explores a set of factors that make the role of outside immigration counsel even more critical to companies that hire foreign nationals – especially today.

In the wake of increased government investigations and raids on employers of foreign nationals, those who don’t have outside immigration counsel cannot rely on attorney/client privilege to shield themselves from overreaching investigations. Though considered more cost-effective in the short term to have in-house counsel prepare immigration paperwork, none of that “work” is privileged and could very well result in exponentially higher long-term costs in the case of an investigation.
